When Wei Changying heard Duanmu Xinmiao say that she was going to return to the imperial capital with Duanmuqin, although she had prepared for it, she was quite reluctant to let go of her medical skills because, on the one hand, there were many places that relied on her medical skills and, on the other hand, she had been living together for a long time and had feelings for her.
It was Duanmu Xinmiao who was so heartless that she told her with a fluttering brow, "My fourth uncle said that my grandfather and father intend to give me a dowry that will be increased by a few percent when my eldest sister leaves the court!"
"...... Are you as happy as this?" Wei Chang Ying's heart full of reluctance and parting melancholy a word has not yet told it, by her so happy, what emotions are gone, is very depressed Road.
Duanmu Xinmiao clapped her hands and righteously said, "How can you not be so happy! Do you know how much my big sister's dowry was? When my grandmother was here, the one she loved most was my big sister, plus she married the then Crown Prince - I heard that my grandmother was trying her best to stuff her with things! The old man told me that my aunts and cousins were all very sour at that time. In private, there was even a younger, more straightforward cousin who cried and told people around her that her grandmother had given her big sister a dowry of so many good things, and when it was her turn to go out of the house, wouldn't she have nothing? Now I want the same and more!"
Seeing that Wei Changying still seemed a bit indifferent, Duanmu Xinmiao understood and gave her a blank look, humming, "Yes, even though you didn't marry the prince, your grandmother loves you as much as my grandmother loves my big sister. Your dowry will not be less than my big sister's!"
Wei Changying didn't deny it either, "My grandmother did favor me a bit, although I'm not too sure how much my sisters' dowries were, but I don't think it was as much as mine."
"I'm afraid it's not even close!" Duanmu Xinmiao smiled and said, "Your grandmother has only one granddaughter, my grandmother has me and several other granddaughters. My grandmother has me and several other granddaughters. If she favors my big sister, she will have to take care of her other granddaughters. Unlike your grandmother, you are the only one who is so precious, you can put all your thoughts on you. Hey, if you do the math like this, isn't your dowry even more than my big sister's?"
"So you're this happy not because your fourth uncle came to take you back on purpose, but because your family promised you such a dowry?" Wei Chang Ying asked breathlessly.
Duanmu Xinmiao said with a straight face: ''Of course! Otherwise, when I see someone from the Duanmu family, I can't see eye to eye! How can I laugh? It would be a sneer!"
"Since we're talking about dowry, naturally it's only for leaving the cabinet." Wei Chang Ying didn't want to talk too much about her relationship with her family, so he digressed and asked, "You're getting married? Whose son is it?"
Ordinary young lady heard the word "marriage", not to say shame can not look up immediately get up to avoid, always have to anger on a few words. However, Duanmu Xinmiao never is not an ordinary girl, she greatly said: "I think I do not marry, they also refused to give me. As for who to marry it ...... to wait for me to return to the imperial capital, to inquire about which family has that nothing useful, the nest is good to bully, casually married, to get the dowry is serious."
Wei Changying shook his head and said, "You're acting rashly again! How can you be so hasty in your life's endeavors?"
Seeing Duanmu Xinmiao about to speak, Wei Changying waved his hand and interrupted, saying, "Listen to me! I know that you have excellent medical skills, and with this skill, it's not impossible for you to live on your own. It's just that you're a girl! And born beautiful! If you didn't have the Duanmu family to protect you, you'd have been hit on long ago, wouldn't you? Do you think you're good at poisoning? How much does a servant cost in today's market? A few lives will be sacrificed and you will be tied up, so what else can you do? This out of the pavilion is someone else's person, I heard you are very dissatisfied with your mother's family, I think according to your temperament, in the future married someone will not open any mouth with the mother's family! Have you ever thought of the sin of harboring a child?"
Duanmu Xinmiao frowned, then hummed, "I just want to marry low! But according to my origin, even if it's bad, it has to be a member of the scholarly family, right?"
"The defeated branches of the scholarly clan don't have it easy!" Wei Changying reminded her, "Have you forgotten Min Zhixue? I've heard that this man's family was so poor when he was young that he didn't even have clothes in winter or meat for years! You can put yourself down to treat the commoners and the lowly, but I don't believe you can live in that kind of misery!"
"My Dowry ......"
"Are there not many things in this world that are taken by trickery?" Wei Changying said, "Don't forget how our family got those endless mountains and rivers. Did we buy them all? How many of those places were not designated by our family and then returned to us? Although it is said that the general designation is the owner of the barren mountains, but sometimes the owner of the place attracts the eye, but also not that there is not that kind of forcing the old owner to make it give way!"
Duanmu Xinmiao was annoyed to hear this, so she complained, "I'm about to leave, and you can't say a few kind words, sister-in-law! For example, are you going to send me a generous grooming?"
"I'm sure I'll have to give you a gift, but I don't think the idea you have in mind is very reliable." Wei Changying said seriously, "If you really don't have a favorite, you might as well marry two years later, it's better to marry late than wrong! It is impossible for a family like ours to allow you to remarry! This is a very important matter, and we must be very careful."
Duanmu Xinmiao sneered, ''I don't care about this! What does the reputation of the Duanmu family have to do with me? Anyway, my nephew is about to marry! He's a clan king, so he's not afraid that he won't be able to marry a queen from a famous family!"
Wei Changying sighed, "I know - you just said that! I think you have an idea in your mind, you just don't want to tell me."
Seeing her say so, Duanmu Xinmiao was embarrassed: "I just thought that my nature. I just thought that if I have such a temperament, I'm afraid that ordinary husbands won't be able to stand it. Although I'm not afraid of anyone, but all day long quarrel to quarrel is not much fun, might as well find an honest and obedient it! Besides, I don't care about the honor of a husband and wife."
"That's true, but I don't think you can look down on someone who's too much of a wimp." Wei Chang Ying persuaded, "In my opinion, what you should be looking for is not someone who is honest and obedient, but someone who is sensible."
"I'm afraid I'm too sensible, and I'm bound by rules." Duanmu Xinmiao shook her head, "Sister-in-law, you are not unaware that even after I leave the pavilion, I still have to continue to study medical science, and it is not possible for me to alienate myself from my master because of this. Although my master is already old, but in the end there is a difference between men and women, outside the rumors, although they avoid me to talk about it, I did not not happen to hear it! Sister-in-law you say how many men can be as generous as ...... your uncle Sikong adults treat your aunt Mrs. Wei like?"
Wei Chang Ying can hear that Duanmu Xinmiao was going to bring than their husband Shen Zangfeng - when they did not go out of the cabinet on the bad reputation of the girl, once suspected of losing their innocence, the Shen family sent to the Fengzhou withdrawal of Shen Zhou are about to show their cards, or fiancé Shen Zangfeng hard to arrive in the rain to stop it down.
After that everyone said Shen Zang Feng is really good temperament and good mind, even such a thing can endure ...... whether this is praise or ridicule, only the person who said it is clear in his own heart.
Thinking of these past events, Wei Changying sighed and persuaded Duanmu Xinmiao, "Although my uncle is good, he is not the only good son-in-law in every family. I don't want to talk about anything else, but let's talk about my second cousin Song. Although he repudiated your cousin, it was Duanmu Wushe who first cut herself off from her husband's family. In terms of temperament, my second cousin Song is definitely very good. I'll be honest with you, don't be angry, although this Duanmu WuSe is your cousin, her behavior is much worse than yours, so she's not a good match, and I can't blame my second cousin Song for this."
Duanmu Xinmiao sneered and said: ''What am I angry about? When Duanmu WuShi was repudiated, I must have been one of the happiest people! In fact, my mother, my eldest sister and I have never offended her, but after my eldest sister's accident, she was the one who was the most powerful in her generation! When my mother died, she made a lot of snide remarks! If it weren't for the last vestiges of kinship and the elders stopping me, I would have taken her life and told her to go to the Yellow Springs to make amends to my mother! Why would I need the Song family to send her home?"
Wei Changying knew that Duanmu Wushe had a bad temperament and bullied Huo, but she didn't realize that she had offended Duanmu Xinmiao so deeply. ...... After freezing for a moment, she suddenly thought of something, and lowered her voice: "Duanmu Wushe is very cynical, and has always forbidden my second cousin Song to take a concubine ... ...But she has been out of the cabinet for many years but always nothing ......"
"If she had something to offer, I would have been kicked out of my master's school long ago!" Sure enough, Duanmu Xinmiao said disdainfully, "I won't mention the things she said at the time of my eldest sister's accident. Sister-in-law, what did she say at my mother's funeral?"
Not waiting for Wei Chang Ying to answer, she laughed coldly and said, "She said that my mother might not have died of illness at all, but was guilty of not giving my father a son for so many years, and gave birth to two first daughters, so she killed herself in a sensible manner. After all, my mother's first daughter, that is, my eldest sister, highly favored by my grandmother, sent her out of the pavilion in style, but turned back to the family are almost involved! I can see that my big sister is not lucky enough, even if she is forced to push her into the position of the Crown Princess is not! I also said that my big sister at least had a child heir, this widow can also be done. And I, in the future in the hands of the concubine mother stepmother, do not know how to live, see our mother's fate is not good, born daughter also blessed thin! At that time my mother's zi coffin was still on top of the spirit hall - do you think it was not unparalleled benevolence and kindness for me to just let her break her heir's destiny?"
Although Wei Changying doesn't intend to discuss the Duanmu family's family affairs, he couldn't help but say in disgust, "At least she's the daughter of the Valve Readers, but she's so mean and vicious at such a young age! Uncle insisted on repudiating her instead of divorcing her or letting her die in the Song family, which is really a wise move! Such a woman deserves to be humiliated - she brought this on herself!"
She slowed her breath and added, ''In any case, she has no good end now, so you shouldn't remember her words too much. This kind of unreasonable person is stupid and blunt! Competing with her is simply a waste of identity!"
Duanmu Xinmiao's eyes shifted for a moment before she said, "It's nothing, the Duanmu family has treated me poorly in a lot of places that have treated me poorly! If I have to take care of every single one of them, how will I have the heart to think about medical science?"
When Wei Changying heard this, he couldn't help but think that Duanmu Xinmiao's obsession with medicine was not necessarily all due to her love of medicine, but perhaps she wanted to forget about her past injuries by indulging in the art of medicine and pharmacology.
Not wanting to evoke too many bad memories for Duanmu Xinmiao, Wei Changying changed the topic back, "Actually, your fourth brother is a good husband, and this time, when he heard that his first daughter Shuxi was not doing well, he immediately dropped everything and headed to the imperial capital. You should know that he was sent to Xiliang to sharpen his skills. This is the first time I've ever seen a person who has been in the same position as me. Some people don't talk about the first daughter, even the first son, also don't see such importance."
Duanmu Xinmiao listened, suddenly giggled and said, "Is this last sentence not a grudge against Third Brother that he hasn't seen Shu Guang by this time?"
